EPISODE 10: ROBERT BRANCH & DANTE PRIDE
What actually happened to George Floyd the day he died? What is it like for a young black man who is wrestled to the ground and held in a choke hold by an aggressive cop? Robert Branch says it is terrifying and he is still traumatized after his experience in 2015. Branch and his lawyer, Dante Pride, who won a settlement for Branch, describe their yearslong ordeal to expose the truth. Like Floyd’s case, Branch caught the events on camera and was able to prove his side of the story. Pride says these holds are much too dangerous to be used in high conflict situations — too much can go wrong.
